Cold Symptoms

Mysoline

Generic Name: Primidone
Brand Name: Mysoline

Mysoline is used for:

Treating and preventing seizures. It may be taken alone or with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Mysoline is an anticonvulsant. It works by decreasing nerve impulses in the nervous system, which helps to reduce seizures.

Do NOT use Mysoline if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Mysoline or to phenobarbital

you have the blood disease porphyria

you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Some medical conditions may interact with Mysoline. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

if you have a history of drug abuse or dependence, mental or mood problems (eg, depression), or suicidal thoughts or behaviors

if you have liver problems, lung problems, or breathing problems

if you will be receiving anesthesia (eg, methoxyflurane)

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Mysoline. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Sodium oxybate (GHB), stiripentol, or valproic acid because the risk of severe side effects such as severe drowsiness and incoordination may be increased

Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), aromatase inhibitors (eg, exemestane), beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), clozapine, corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), doxycycline, epothilones (eg, ixabepilone), estrogen, griseofulvin, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, darunavir, lopinavir), hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), mammalian target of rapamycin (MTOR) inhibitors (eg, everolimus), maraviroc, metronidazole, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) (eg, etravirine), oral contraceptives (eg, birth control pills), quinidine, tacrolimus, teniposide, theophylline, tolvaptan, or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (eg, lapatinib) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Mysoline

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Mysoline may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Mysoline:

Use Mysoline as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Take Mysoline by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.

Take Mysoline on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.

Taking Mysoline at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.

Do not suddenly stop taking Mysoline. You may have an increased risk of side effects (eg, seizures). If you need to stop Mysoline or add a new medicine, your doctor will gradually lower your dose.

Continue to take Mysoline even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.

It may take several weeks for Mysoline to work well. Do not stop taking Mysoline without talking with your doctor.

Contact the doctor right away if any signs of suicidal thoughts or actions occur.

Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Mysoline. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).

Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Mysoline before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
